PITTSBURGH, PA (SNN-TV) – The Buccaneers were expected to walk into Acrisure Stadium yesterday and leave with an easy victory over the struggling Pittsburgh Steelers, but that was not the case.
Instead, they were beaten up on both sides of the ball on their way to a crushing 20-18 loss.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay offense didn’t find the end zone until the final minutes of the game, and a failed two-point conversion kept the Bucs from tying things up. Pittsburgh won despite losing rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett to a concussion, and held Tom Brady to just 243 yards passing despite missing most their starting secondary due to injury. Brady is also receiving push-back from fans, as he missed the team’s walk-through to attend New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s wedding in New York on Friday.
Tampa Bay falls to 3-3 on the season, and will head back out on the road next week to face division-rival Carolina Panthers.
